Specifications

Information

PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free)

LCD Monitors and TVs may have image retention when switching from one image to another

especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time.

This guide is to demonstrate correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from

Image retention.

Warranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

What is Image retention ?

During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesn't occur. How-

ever, if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electric

charge accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liquid crystal.

This may cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus,

the previous image is retained when switching to a new video image. All display

products, including LCD, are subject to image retention. This is not a product de-

fect.

Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention.

Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode

Ex)

• Turn the power off when using a stationary pattern.

• Turn the power off for 4 hours after 20 hours in use

• Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use

• Use a Screen saver if possible

• Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.

• Set the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.

Suggestions for specific applications

Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets, Banks, and Controlling Systems We

recommend that you follow set up of your display system program as below:

Display Information together with Logo or Moving image cycle.

Ex) Cycle : Display Information for 1 hour followed by a Display Logo or moving

image for 1 minute.

Change the Color Information periodically (Use 2 different colors).

Ex) Rotate the Color Information with 2 colors every 30 minutes.

Avoid using a combination of characters and background color with large difference

in luminance.

Avoid using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily.

• Avoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey)

Ex)

• Recommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance

• Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes

Ex)

• Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.

Ex)

The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or

System to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it.

Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated under normal con-

ditions.
